What is the News?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Two United States Senators have introduced a resolution in the upper chamber of Congress reiterating that the US recognises the McMahon Line as the international boundary between China and India in Arunachal Pradesh.<\/span><\/p>\n

The resolution reaffirms India\u2019s well-known and established position that Arunachal Pradesh, which China calls \u2018South Tibet\u2019, is an integral part of India.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the McMahon Line?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The McMahon Line serves as the de facto boundary between China and India in the Eastern Sector.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It specifically represents the boundary between Arunachal Pradesh and Tibet, from Bhutan in the west to Myanmar in the east.<\/span><\/p>\n

China has historically disputed the boundary and claims the state of Arunachal Pradesh as part of the Tibetan Autonomous Region (TAR).<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the circumstances where McMahon Line was drawn?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The McMahon Line was drawn during the <\/span>Simla Convention of 1914<\/b>, officially described as the Convention Between Great Britain, China, and Tibet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The convention <\/span>defines the boundary between Tibet and <\/span>China proper<\/span> and that between Tibet and British India (with the latter coming to be known as the <\/span>McMahon Line<\/span>).<\/span><\/p>\n

What has the status of the McMahon line been since 1914?<\/b><\/h2>\n

There were disputes regarding the McMahon line from the very beginning after the communists took power in 1949. They pulled China out of all international agreements and the so-called \u201cunequal treaties\u201d that had been imposed on it during its \u201ccentury of humiliation\u201d, and demanded a renegotiation of all its borders.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the 1962 Sino-Indian War, China was able to quickly overpower India and make deep inroads into Indian territory across the McMahon Line. However, its forces retreated to pre-war positions after the unilateral ceasefire was announced.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
